Menopause Fatigue

Hysterectomoy and menopause?

My mom is 56. She had a hysterectomy in her late 30s. Over the past year or so, it appears that she goes through mood swings (she's happy for 2 days, and then rather sad or lethergic for another 2 days). She complains of heart palipations, lack of sleep, and just general fatigue. Is it possible that she is being menopausal. Her behavior is causing negative impact on the family.

She was thrown into menopause when she had the hysterectomy. The symptoms of it are a withdrawal from the normal hormone levels. Well, unless she just recently got off her Hormone Replacement, there should be no drop in hormones. It is possible she is going through a mid life crisis, or maybe having some other health problem. She should see her doctor just to make sure.
